Scars and Starlight

***

A fragment still lingers, a scar on my soul,

A mark on my finger, a weight I can’t hold.

A home and a parting, a dream wrapped in fright,

A balm for the aching, a slap, and delight.

[Chorus]

So dual, so hidden, absurd to the core,

Both known and forbidden, yet I wanted more.

A lone little starlight that flickered, then died,

Salvation and sorrow burned side by side.

[Verse 2]

You slipped through my spirit, my heart held your place,

I dreamed I could meet you, then drowned in your gaze.

The fault must be mine too, though poisoned the fight,

I ran back a hundred times into the night.

[Chorus]

So dual, so hidden, absurd to the core,

Both known and forbidden, yet I wanted more.

A lone little starlight that flickered, then died,

Salvation and sorrow burned side by side.

[Bridge]

A hundred times fighting to pull you back through,

Yet still I grew weary—betrayal was you.

The kindest so often get lost in the storm,

Yet scars tell the stories of all we transform…

[Outro]

Each mark and each scar, though time may erode,

Remains in the cosmos of all that we've sown…
